Review: TNA Final Resolution 2024

Final Resolution is LIVE from Center Stage in Atlanta!

Have chosen to do this show live, will do Smackdown after, because it’s a busy weekend. We’ve got Rampage and Collision for AEW coming, too, plus Saturday Night’s Main Event from WWE on — you guessed it! — Saturday will be a live recap. That one will be a free-to-read, by the way. I mean, it’s on TV, so I’m going to treat it like the weekly TV stuff even though it obviously is a special card.

The main thing is, Final Resolution is going to be roughly a three-hour show and watching it live will be so much more enjoyable than watching it on delay after, while weekly TVs are kind of a breeze watching alone at Midnight or whatever, a two-hour show is really an hour and 25 minutes and just zips by. PPV/PLE shows do not zip by in that situation.

A little inside baseball for you. The mind of a newsletterer.

Moose (c) vs Kushida

TNA X Division Championship

These guys were a tag team at ROH x NJPW Honor Rising night two in Tokyo in 2016. They beat Tetsuya Naito and BUSHI!¹

Fast start with Moose power bombing lil’ Kushida against the apron. Kushida is going to be counted out, but Moose stops the referee’s count at nine and then goes outside so he can be a choo-choo train like guys in WWE do, but he picks up absolutely no speed and sort of casually jogs into missing Kushida and running into the steps.

Moose has lost a lot of the athleticism and explosiveness he had years ago, in fact, but he can still do some cool power moves. And you have to remember that the X Division is about no limits. Go to Hell chokeslam gets two, uranage gets two, but Moose’s left arm is basically off the table early, too.
